WARNING: YOUR DOCTOR CAN’T PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY OR YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS
” There is a growing concern by Americans that their personal and private information is being collected and shared without their knowledge and consent.
Recent scandals about government spying on individuals pales in comparison to the revelation that HealthCare.gov was recently hacked. Cyber security experts are warning about efforts by foreign governments, such as Russia and China, to compromise medical databases. But this is just the tip of the iceberg according to Florida doctors.
As health records are digitized they become more sharable and more vulnerable to privacy violations.
The more individual information is placed on large centralized databases the more that information may be accessed, without the knowledge and consent of the individual. Doctors in Florida are raising privacy concerns as they fully implement the “electronic health record” (EHR) mandate for their patient’s records. Doctors worry about their loss of control over their patients’ records and their ability to limit those who access them. They worry about the growing the risks and liability of a privacy violation.”
As if this invasion of privacy isn’t enough what with all manner of government bureaucrats and potential identity thieves accessing your personal medical records , we are now hearing rumblings of a requirement in Obamacare that mandates the creation of a digital list of all that enroll in Obamacare with the sole purpose of being used as a political mailing list .
Anyone that continues to believe that the State only has their best interests at heart is delusional and shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
